Popis: Objective: Binding of ICAM-1 expressed on cardiomyocytes decreases cardiomyocyte contractility in vitro by altering the intracellular Ca2+ transient. We tested the hypothesis that signaling via ICAM-1 contributes to decreased left ventricular contractility in an in vivo model of systemic inflammation. Methods: C57B6 wild-type mice and ICAM-1 knock-out mice were treated with intraperitoneal lipopolysaccharide (LPS) then left ventricular contractility was measured 6 h later using a volume-conductance micromanometer catheter. We repeated this experiment in chimeric mice lacking ICAM-1 expression in bone marrow-derived cells (M−) and/or lacking ICAM-1 expression in the heart and other tissues (H−). Results: In C57B6 wild-type mice LPS injection significantly increased cardiac ICAM-1 expression and decreased in vivo measures of left ventricular contractility (end-systolic elastance, Ees decreased 58±4%, p
